League Of Legends' New Cinematic Is Worth Watching Even If You Don’t Know The Characters

I’ve played a bit of League of Legends, but it’s been months since I logged in and I have forgotten most of what I learned. I don’t know who the characters are or what makes them special amongst a sea of heavily stylized fighters. Thankfully, for the purposes of this cinematic, it really doesn’t matter.

Riot’s latest theatrical trailer for the popular MOBA brings together a number of different heroes ranging from stealthy ninjas to tank-like bruisers. It’s well choreographed and exciting to watch, even if you have no interest in ever playing League of Legends or any of the many titles in the genre it inhabits.

Most impressively, it’s pretty brutal. Blood is spilled and at least one character takes a shotgun blast to the face (off-screen). With Dota 2’s International now behind us, we’re sure that Riot wants to recapture mind share. This trailer should help the company on that path.

Cool and all but...this game still had the most toxic community I have ever had the misfortune of coming into contact with. For me, a multiplayer game has to have a decent community to keep me compelled. One of the reasons why I still go back to Bad Company 2 and NOT Modern Warfare xD

While the cinematic is entertaining, I just don't like the game. I tried it, just could not sustain me. Course those custom maps in WC3 were never my thing either, so it's really no surprise I am not fan of MOBA's in general.

The game is great the problem I have with this trailer is the new character. I mean another cliche fairy/magic-using female character? Oh she's so adorable yet deadly!
*sigh*
We need more original characters that are badass like Vel'koz or Fiddlesticks.

I love the current game, but a spinoff that was like this could be amazing. A 3rd person action MOBA with a large, distructable map and vertical traversing (climbing in the trees and what-not), all while looking visually like that!? It's the stuff of my dreams! Wild dreams aside, that cenimatic was badass. Can't wait till the next one!

This video about sums up why female characters in video games have a bad rap. Just saying. You know when the females were made to look really hot to the extent that they don't have any muscle on them and have oddly large breasts for being fighters and all that the trailer isn't aiming for realism. Or a female audience. That said, the video was pretty darn enjoyable.

Okay I had no idea who anyone was but that Cinematic was really really awesome!!!!!! I was rooting for that big bulky feline dude and that cutie with the ears the whole time! Sooo much action and fluid animations. Goood why can't this be a show, I would totally watch it! Perhaps I should investigate this game more . . .
